Forecasts

Buachaillbocht (6/4), No Fussing (7/2), Danny The Fence (13/2), The Flying Donkey (15/2), Greenhill Damsel (11/1), Imbolc (12/1), Glenabo Bridge (16/1), Yabo (16/1), Lough Nigara (18/1), Ballycairn (25/1), Vintage Gold (33/1), Perfect Arch (40/1), Clyde The Glide (50/1), Thegoaheadman (66/1)

Verdict

BUACHAILLBOCHT is worth another chance to build on his comeback win with conditions unlikely to be as testing this time. Glenabo Bridge proved he still has plenty to offer when scoring at Fairyhouse and is next best ahead of No Fussing.
